Computer in Education: Advantage or Disadvantage
Computers play a very significant role in our life depending on how we use it. Since the advent of personal and home computers, the use of computer becomes an integral part, primarily on our education system. It is already a must for students to have computer knowledge. The widespread use of computer in education diminishes the era of paper and pencil use in writing, in making assignments and in answering examinations. It helps the students become more knowledgeable and makes teaching and learning process much easier. It helps them in their research activities - instead of going to the library which is time-consuming, they make use of the computer. By that, they minimize their time and effort in doing the research and maximize their output at the same time. However, these advantages are sometimes being abused. Students, make us of the computer in playing games, chatting or even viewing pornographic videos. To such point that they no longer study their lessons well because they are already addicted into it. So, the use of computer in today’s modern world depends greatly on how man uses it. As in the case of the students, it is an advantage in their education if one uses it in the correct way. But a disadvantage, of course, if one uses it in the wrong way. Thus, it is also important for parents to follow up or check their children, especially on the use of computer at home. They have to see to it that their kids use it for research and school-related activities and not for playing computer games. They also have to make sure that their kids are not spending longer time in the computer for too much exposure might damage their eyes. Therefore, we cannot really tell that the use of computer in education is an advantage for it can also be a disadvantage if used improperly.
